A method of generating data rate control information for a plurality of mobile stations within a sector of a mobile communication system enables a base station to efficiently maintain system stabilization in a current reverse link and satisfies a variety of QoS levels for a plurality of mobile stations in one sector. The method includes steps of calculating a priority for each of the plurality of mobile stations; calculating a system load of the sector; and setting, according to the respectively calculated priorities, data rate control information to be transmitted to each mobile station, whereby the system load falls between predetermined threshold values.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a higher priority is preferentially set to increase a reverse data rate.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nominal data rate is a minimum data rate satisfying a condition that a sum of transmission powers of the traffic data to be newly transmitted and the traffic data to be retransmitted is less than a total of transmission power to be allocated to a variable R and an additionally available transmission power.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the variable R is an element of a rate set commonly shared by the mobile stations and a base station.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system load is calculated by Load = ∑ j ∈ ActiveSector SINR i 1 + SINR i where the SINR i is a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the ith frame of the jth mobile station.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system load is calculated by Load = 1 - 1 RoT ave ( i ) where the RoT ave(i) is an average rise-over-thermal noise of the ith frame of the jth mobile station.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data rate control information controls a rate at which data is to be transmitted to a base station through a reverse traffic channel.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data rate control information is set to maintain the system load between said predetermined threshold values.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data rate control information is set after each of the plurality of mobile stations has been connected to a base station of the sector.
10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a call is established for each mobile station even though the system load does not lie between the predetermined threshold values.
11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a call is established for each mobile station irrespective of whether a priority fee has been paid by a subscriber of each mobile station.
12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data rate control information is set to “down” only for mobile stations having transmitted information for increasing a data rate.
13. The method in claim 1 , wherein P Tr[Rnom(i)] corresponds to P Tr[Rate] .
